ViewSonic and NaviSite to Showcase NVIDIA GRID at VMworld 2014

ViewSonic Corp. joined up with
NaviSite and NVIDIA to showcase the ultimate VDI client at VMworld, August
24-28, in San Francisco. ViewSonic’s new CDE8451-TL 84-inch, 4K, touch-screen
display, in combination with NaviSite’s new Desktop as a Service (DaaS) that
features NVIDIA GRID™ technology, is ideal for use in collaborative and highly
interactive work environments.

NVIDIA GRID technology offers the
ability to offload graphics processing from the CPU to the GPU in a virtualized
environment allowing applications – from Microsoft® Office to high-performance,
graphics-rich software – to be better utilized and applied across cloud and
desktop servers.

By working with NaviSite to offer a
showing of a scalable, flexible cloud-hosted solution, ViewSonic will
demonstrate the combination of an off-site, cloud-based virtual infrastructure
with GPU virtualization and how it can fit the needs and requirements of a
manageable and flexible DaaS system. Together, ViewSonic’s CDE-8451-TL will
illustrate the unique user experience that GPU virtualization can bring to help
eliminate potential obstacles in VDI adoption.

“We’re pleased to be working with NaviSite and NVIDIA
to bring GRID technology to the forefront and show how GPU virtualization can
work in a DaaS-based virtual desktop environment,” said Michael Holstein, vice
president of business development and emerging technologies at ViewSonic
Americas. “This allows a new level of workstation performance to organizations
that prefer to implement a cloud-hosted VDI infrastructure because of OPEX
benefits.”

“A high-quality graphics experience is now a reality
for VDI users,” said Andrew Cresci, general manager of the NVIDIA GRID business
at NVIDIA. “ViewSonic’s display is a great way to showcase the NaviSite and
NVIDIA GRID solution and illustrate how users can take advantage of a
graphics-accelerated, cloud-hosted PC without any compromise in performance,
even with the most demanding applications.”

The CDE8451-TL is an 84-inch, six-point simultaneous
touch, interactive large-format display with 4K Ultra HD resolution. The large
format LED backlit screen and 4K (3840x2160) resolution delivers the finest in
color, clarity and image detail at four times the detail of traditional 1080p
Full HD displays.

ViewSonic will also demonstrate the new SC-Z56 quad
output zero client and the new SD-Z246 zero client with integrated 24-inch LED
and ergonomic stand. With one of the most diverse lines in the market,
ViewSonic is the VDI endpoint authority. The company continues to bring
leading-edge products to market, including Integrated Thin Client and Zero
Client Displays, along with discrete Thin and Zero Clients that deliver a seamless
desktop experience in VDI networks.
